My electric car had 20 6V lead-acid golf cart batteries that weighed 66 pounds each. So that's 1320 pounds of batteries. Total the car weighed about 3500 pounds. I drove it back and forth to work 22 miles round trip on relatively flat ground. I estimate it could go about 40 miles max on a charge. And it wasn't doing any "useful work" when it arrived at its destination.
